Tito pontlritinn whoso vnmo heads thin arti cle, ia now the candidate of the Democratic party of this State for Governor. The people, with unanimity unpnrallclled in Ihe history of our political annals, have substituted him in the place of the late, much lamented UCNUV A. MUHLENBERG. To the prent body of the people of this Com monwealth, it is hardly necessary to introduce FRANCIS 11. SHUNK. He hns long li-en familiarly known to them, and knowing him, they are prepared to elevate I. im to the distin puishud office of Chief Magistrate. A brief fkelch, however, of bin life, at this deeply in-teret-tinp; period of our ol it ict affairs, may not he uninteresting1. FRANCIS R. SHUNK is a native ot the county of Montgomery, in this State. 1 1 is forefathers were Germans, who emigrated, np wnrdsof one hundred yeuis ago, from the I'a lutitinta, on the Rhine, and settled in the neigh borhood oftheTrappe. Histather was, also, a native of then Philadelphia, jinir) Miintgn mery county, and at the age of 10, entered the service of hiscountry, and continued in her ser vice for a period nt upwards of six years during the war ofthe Revolution. It was the ftite of Francis U. Shnnli to be de nied the advantages of a liberal education. At the age of 12 years he ubp, from the force of circumstances, taken from the country schoo!, and compelled, for several year?, to work for hire with the miglihoring farmers. Eut his active, enquiring nnd cnergetis mind could not ho subdued or depressed by circumstances. The deficiencies ot education at schoo', were in a great measure supplied by reading and study during his leisure moments, and by tench iny; a country n hoo!, w hich, at the age of IT, he commenced nt the instance of the farmers residing in the vicinity of his birth-place. As he grew up he emerged from his obscure jvvi tion,nnd quickly established a reputation for talents and integrity, for singleness of heart, and honesty of purpose, w hich justly entitle him to the distinguished rank and exulted station to w hich his fellow-citizens are about to ele vate hint. While Clerk o( the House of Representntives he was as much noted for the faithful perform ance of the proper duties ofthe office, as for his eminent usefulness to the Speaker and mem bers, in consequence of his accurate know ledge of parliamentary la w and practice. Ho was in fact, otie ofthe mo-t efficient and active mem bers in preparing and arranging the business of hgislation, and that, too, without rendering himself liable to the charge of obtrusion. I lis value in this department is known and appre ciated by nitiny gentlemen in the several conn ties, who have been representatives ofthe peo ple His knowledge of the lawp, and of the history of legislation, made him skilful in draft ing bills and reports, and qualified him for that degree of practical usefulness which expedited business, and nto-t materially letsencd the ex penses of government. As Secretary to the Hoard of Canal Com missioners the members of the Hoard with w hom he served, their record, and all the r. gents upon the public works with whom he was associated, hear testimony to his admirable skill, arrangement and fidelity. In his capacity of Secretary to the Hoard, he had on oppnr'uuity of becoming intimately acquainted with the va- j rious local as well us general interests of the people of this Commonwealth, which required at that tune the fostering care ofthe legislature, and which at this time may stand in need of j legislative aid. There is scarcely a county in j the State that has nt been visited by Mr. I Shunk, nnd the resources of which he is nut fa- I miliar with. It is riot saying more than strict truth warrants, w hen we remark that no man in Pennsylvania has a better knowledge of the slntistics of the Suite than FRANCIS R. SHUNK. He may have his equal in this re spect, it is true, but he certainly has not his su perior. The writer ot this article has a person al knowledge of the lint, that Mr. Shook de voted much time in preparing for publication, a atatistical tabular statement of the amount and value ofthe Agricultural productions ; and also, the amount and value of the various ar ticles manufactured in each county of the Slate, as returned by the township Assessors, under the authority of'an uct of Assembly huing spe cial relation to that subject. W'o deem the possession of this knowledge a matter of no lit tle moment, at this particular and peculiar cri cis in the affairs of State. As Secretary ofthe Commonwealth and Su perintendent of Common Schools, big reports to the Legislature, and his correspondence in relation to the general business of the office, and with the school directors throughout the Commonwealth, upon the 6tibject of common school education, and the administration ofthe common school laws, furnish proofs of his com prehensive knowledge of every subject con nected with the department, and of his inde UNBUffiY AME AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL; majority, llio vital principle of Republics, from which Minimi), XorUiumbcrlaml t o. fatigable zeal and industry in examining every question, and in answering cveiy inquiry. Perfection in the science of government is like everything else it must bo acquired by close application nnd laborious study. To be well governed, the people must, and generally do, select a Chief Magistrate, and Representa tives, who linvo made the Constitution their study, nnd have a general knowledge of the laws which regulate society, and guarantee se curity to life, liberty nnd property. A know ledge of thcs3 prc-requisiles to official stations is not acquired by intuition. It is the result of close reading, intense reflection, and practical experience. A Statesman is not the child of a n hour's or a day's creation. Years ol study nnd official service have made the whole civil ized world acquainted with the names of Jeller son, Madison, Monroe, Jackson ami Van Hu ren ; and to the untiring devotion of these men to the political condition ofthe Union, we nre indebted for preserving us from the grasp of munitions demagogues, whose only aim has been since the institution of our government, to build up an aristocracy not less dangerous to the li berties of the people, and perhaps more intolo- rable, than the iron sway of monarchy. It can I form no objection, then, to the election ofthe candidate ot the Democratic party, that he has been in office, but rather exhibits, in bold re lief, the necessity, at this period of financial perplexity, of elevating him to the Chair of ; State. His unsurpassed anil intimate acquaint- nine Willi the resources ot 'he State, acquired ,.jr iim t-A iei leoei-, w I i l e'lia e ic llllll lO ret'OIIl- niend to the Legislature such Hienstins as will tend to lighten the burdens of the people, by e qunlizing and reducing 'be pecuniary exnctioiis necessary to the preservation of the pledged public faith. In private lite Mr. Shunk has been proverbial f)f hj, S(;0 Ti0 nw'lX (f ,;,;. for his household economy. As a public officer i8ia,ur0i ,, ,!,,,, wi)h w,oln ,, VM l(Ti. no man has dared (vindictive and malicious ns , ciaMy ns(,ciated. ill unite in testifying that party spirit makes the human heart.) to impugn N , all times, exhibited a livelv interest in his reputation for strict economy, and nn honest ; ...nesting and devising wnvs and means to a discharge ofthe duties devolving upon him.

For the trull, of nil we have ,.rrc t ii-n 1 execution the strictest economy, stated, we may confidently appeal to every citi- ' Kwn to he proverbially honest and honorable zen whohas had intercourse with him ns a pub- j j private life, he will not disappoint the ex I c officer: and there are few men in the Cm- j pectations and hopes of a generous nnd confid monwenllh who drive dnd intercourse with more ; ; p,.p!e, when he shall he clothed w'th pow ofi.'s citizens. His general knowledge and nc- or nd nuthority, by changing his nature and quaintance with the details of the affairs ofthe 1 eonverfing his administration into a medium of State, always enabled him to anticipate what was wanting, and to furnish required informa tion on all subjects in the most satisfactory torn). His talents nnd his skill added dignity to every other station ho occupied, and have placed h i in in a prominent and enviable position ns a general favorite before the people of this Com monwealth. The remark may be nnde with great truth, that the trusts reposed in him were such as requited ski, 1 unci industry, and that he has been literally a working man in ottice 3 ud t ew tiiPii have performed so much labor for a compensation so small. 1 His political principles have been uniformly nnd decidedly Democratic. In early life ho adopted for his guide, nnd has ever since strict- ly adhered to, the political landmarks w hich were established by Jefterson, the great Ajms- tie of Freedom. With entire confidence in (.ho capacity of the people to govern themselves, he has been uniformly oppo-ed to the creation ot powers in the government independent of their control, and has been associated w ith the great Democratic party in maintaining the integri'y of the Constitution, and the unquestioned and Idrr (King's county') cm rerpuiidetit ofthe Tip unquestionable right of those who are to he perury Vindicator, w rites as follows :--"A rich governed, to establish, control and regulate the ; scene occurred on the bench of the petty ses powers of government, and to mould them ac- sions court, shortly after Sir W.

During this memorable struggle a- 1 gainst usurpation and treason, he occupied a prominent position, and friends and liie acknow ledged the firmness, decision and impartial judgment w hich marked his conduct. We have thus elucidated, by a reference to the able manner in which Mr. Shunk has dis charged his duties as a public officer, his entire fitness to take charge ofthe helm of State, and guide her in snfety to the harbor of prosperity. We will now briefly allude ! another incident of his life which rxiiihit him as a patriot will ing to sacrifice his existence to preserve the soil of his native laud from the foul and savage desecration ot our ancient enemy. It) HI I, when the Hrifish invaded our shores for the purpose of encoring the iniquitous right of searching American vessels, nnd impressing American Seamen, a requisition was made by the general government on Gov. Snyder for troops to defend our cities and towns bordering on the Chesapeake hay, against the savage and merciless onsets of the enemy. To this call Mr. Shunk responded, by immediately volun teering his services, nnd under the command of RICHARD M. CRAIN, the present Secretaiy ofthe Land Office, marched to the defence of Baltimore, and served in the division of Gen Watsi n, composed of militia nnd volunteers from the count ies of Dauphin, Li bauou.

His well known indiist rious business habits will, if possible, be wanned into more active existence when he nsstiti.es the reigns of government, and pre clude the hope with those in w in in he may confide, that any department ofthe government w ill escape his personal in- poet ion Mid sti) r vision.

A few days e'mce, wp copied a paragraph from the Van Duron (Ark ) Whig, noticing the banging of four men in Texas, for the murder of Indian. Col. W. S. Reeves, of Arkansas, has furnished the Van Duren Intel ligencer with the following particulars of tho affair, ns embraced in the confession of L. Ray, one ot the miscreants : "Andy Jones, White nnd Read, enme to my house, and proposed to go nnd kill a party of In dians who were encamped Hbout two miles anil a htilf .ilmve my liou-e, on South Sulphur. At first I objected, but they insisted we w ent, and I prevailed on tliem to return. Upon our return, we heard of Mitchell ; and Jones observed, that if it was the same Mili hell that he knew, he was i f the 'right sort.' Jones went to Meatch's to get seme corn; on his route back lie met w iih Mitchell, and they came to my douse and com menced talking nlxuit killing the Indians. Again 1 endeavored to persuade them not to kill them, but to no effect. They s'nrted nnd I went with them. When we arrived nt the camp, which consisted of three men and two boys, of tho De laware tr be, Jones shot one of the men, Read shot another, floth were killed instantly. "Mitchell snapped at one, nnd bent his gun by a blow upon the Indian's head, who ran ofl ; they told me to pursue h'.m, which I did, and ran about eight yards, and then shot nt him. When Mitchell came up, he nsked me which way he went. I told him to wait until I loaded my gun nnd I would show him we pursued b in some distance. On our return wo came by where a little Indian hoy lay dead; I nsked Mitchell who killed him ; he said he caught him and Read stabbed him with his knife. One Indian man (wounded) made his escape, also a boy, unin jured. The properly takrn from the Indians was twelve horses, four puns, three brass ket tles, some saddles, nnd iibout forty deer skins, nil of w hich were equally divided between ns, five in number. At this time, Jones, White, Rend and Mitchell have in their possession a ne gro man', whom they say they took up in the prairies. The last conversation I beard them have they were talking of running the negro off and selling him. "Jones nnd White had conditionally eo'd their pari to Mitchell and Read. Read observed that he had done almost every thing that a man could do, but ns to running neproes, he said he did not know whether lie was a secure hand or not. Mitchell observed that he had 'dealt in the article seme, nnd the only way wss to sell L i m, a inl n.-k dim to meet jim in some remove p'.HO.nnd make clean woik ol'him, meaning to kill him. Head told me that Jones and White had killed a man in the State of Arkansas by the name of Mess ; he said some men by the name ot Piercy hired them to kill him, whogae tin in n rnet: tnnre, n ritb1 gun, and promised some money. W'li te iind Jones waylaid the c rntii Id until Mi.; came to work. Jones fired first, according to ngreeuu nt, and killed him.

R.snys that the triil was conducted in the following manner : "The company on the ground consisted of a bout two hundred u ml fifty persons, who selec ted four ofthe oldest settlers in the country to choose a jury of twelve, whieh was selected I'roin dill-rent parts; and of the most respecta ble, men in the country.

Lord lohlron'a l-'ulflliur nt of a Promlne. In the year 17511, when Mr. Scott, aftcrwnrdg Lord Lldron, first been mo a candidate for the borough of Woebly, l.e was received and lodged in the house of Mr. Bridge, the vi car, who, havings a daughter tden a young child, took a jocular jromise from dim, that, if lie should become a chancellor, nnd Ihe girl's husband should be a clergyman, the chanci llor would give that clergyman a living. Now comes the S( quel partly rt dated by Lord Euiroti himself to his niece (Mrs. F 'S'er.) "Years rolled on I came info t flice ; when one morning 1 was told a young ludy wished to speak tome; and I said that young Jadies mu;tbe attended to, so they must bhow her tip. And up came a very ptet'y young lady, nud she curtsied and simpered, and said she thought I could not recollect her. i answered I cer tainly did net ; but perhaps she could recall her self to my memory ; so she aked me if I re membered the clergyman at Woebly, and his little girl to whom I had made a promise. 'Oh yes !' I said, "I do, and I sjppose you are the little girl !" She curtsied and said, "Yes." "And I suppose you are married to a clergy man V "No," she said, and she blushed, "I am only going to be married to one, if you iny lord will give him a living." Well, I told dor to come back in a few days; and I made inquiries to ascertain from the bish op of the diocese that the gentleman she was going to be married to was a respectable cler gyman of the Church of England; and Ihen I looked nt my list, nnd found I actually had a living vacant that I could give him. So when the young lady came back I told her she might return home and get married ns fast as she li ked, for her intended husband should bo presen ted to a living, and I would send the papers as soon ns they could be made out. "O no!" she exclaimed, nnd ngain she sim pered, and blushed, and curtsied ; "pray, my lord, let me take them hick myself." "1 was a good deal amused ; so I nctually dad tde papers made out, and I signed idem, anil ahu look them back herself the follow ing tiny." Life of Lord Eldron. Accidknt at Niagara Falls.
